Sword Strike Blue (Semi-Gloss)

Sword Strike Blue (Semi-Gloss) - a color from the Gundam series

A modeling paint from the Japanese brand Gunze from the series of colors for kits from the Gundam universe. The name refers to one of the weapons versions of the Strike machine, which has a color finish of its own. The designation Semi-Gloss in the name gives a semi-gloss surface.

Which scheme the color belongs to

On the real subject the Strike machine is equipped with interchangeable weapons packs, and each of them changes not only the silhouette but also the color finish. The Sword version is the one with a large melee weapon for close combat, and the blue of its scheme is precisely this color. For a modeler it means that the paint is not interchangeable with the blue colors of the other versions of the same machine - if you are building a particular version, go by the instructions with your kit and have the paints ready in advance, so that the scheme does not come together only after the parts are glued.

Use and tips

• The color belongs to a particular weapons version, not to the basic finish of the machine
• Shake the bottle thoroughly before applying; the pigment settles at the bottom
• Apply in several thin layers; one thick one will flood the engraved lines
• Test the compatibility with a varnish or patina on an offcut of the sprue
• Settle the thinner and the cleaning of the tools according to the manufacturer's instructions for this range

Who the color is for

The paint is meant for builders of kits from the Gundam universe who are finishing a machine in the finish of this version. You will complete the rest of the scheme with colors from the same range.

Store the paint out of the reach of children, work in a ventilated space and use a respirator and eye protection when spraying. Check the suitable thinner and the cleaning of the tools against the manufacturer's data for this range - Gunze carries several systems side by side that do not mix with one another.
